    Paul and his team were excellent start to finish. We were able to get an assessment pretty quickly and scheduled the installation within a couple weeks. It was a moderately complex job, requiring some creativity in order to get the Wallbox placed in the garage and connected to a subpanel in the basement beneath. The guys exhibited great craftsmanship and high standards, and as a result the aesthetics would turn out very well. Would highly recommend.

    Prompt, responsive, professional. Very clean installation, tech worked with the unique needs of my property to ensure a mechanically sound and aesthetically pleasing installation was achieved. Would definitely recommend.

    TLDR: This company is worth every penny! Incredible work from start to finish and looks awesome! Would unequivocally recommend to anyone looking for an EV installer. Their estimate might be higher than other companies but they know exactly what their doing. Long Story: I am so happy to go with Paul's team at EVCharge4U. I sent out three requests for estimates, and not only was Paul the first to respond but he was incredibly consistent in his communication throughout the entire process. And the outcome was terrific (I'll explain more below). I had an expectation (based on limited research) that it would cost between $750-1200 for a home EV charger setup. So when Paul's estimate came back 3x higher than my expectation, and the highest quote from all 3 companies, I was slightly experiencing sticker shock. But, based on his experience and knowledge, he ultimately knew what realistically needed to be done to install the charger. He was the only one of the three companies to initially recommend a DCC-12 box in his estimate because he knew from the pictures I sent and the information on my home that it was going to be the best solution. The other companies didn't include the DCC-12 box in their estimate which made their estimates seem significantly lower. Also, Paul's estimate includes the price of buying the Tesla Wall Connector directly through them as opposed to buying the charger directly through Tesla. The Tesla Wall Connectors periodically goes out of stock on the company's website given the increase in demand for EVs and installing home chargers. So it was nice to know they have them on stock so it wouldn't delay the installation process. Back to the estimate process. When I called the other companies to ask them more about their quotes they discussed the two strategies for my home: 1) run a lot of conduit from the main electrical panel to the garage since the main electrical panel had a lot of extra space and the sub panel in the garage was almost full or 2) add a DCC-12 box to the sub panel in the garage to give the sub panel more space so you don't have to run a lot of conduit along the house. Running conduit along the house can be very expensive (traditionally more expensive than adding a DCC-12 box), but it's hard for a company to know how much conduit they will need to run based on the pictures so they didn't include this cost as an option in the estimate. And since the DCC-12 is not mandatory the other 2 companies didn't include this in the estimate as well. Not including the option for running a lot of conduit or including the DCC-12 kept the estimates from the other two companies much lower. But Paul knew what needed to be done from the pictures and figured strategy 2 was going to be my best option. Because this was the most likely outcome he decided to include the DCC-12 part in my estimate. He could have chosen, like the other companies, to not include this line item which would have resulted in seeing a lower estimate. But he was setting my expectations from day 1 which I strongly value. It took about 5 days from first contacting Paul to getting my installer charged which in my opinion is really fast. In the meantime we talked about possible install locations, and help set my expectations for what installation day would look like. Paul's team, consisting of Chad and Wes, arrived to installation day on time and open to answering all of my questions. We talked about different install locations and were divided between two adjacent walls. Chad was really knowledgeable and recommended the ultimate location for the charger because it wouldn't require drilling an extra hole that would be visible to the outside of the house. Chad listened to our preferences and advised us on the decision that best met our needs. They completed the install in about 3-4 hours and were incredibly professional. The whole process from start to finish was incredibly easy, informative, and stress free. I haven't completed the permitting part yet but their team also takes care of this for you!

Rigo did a great job with the 3 things I had done: replacing an electrical panel, replacing 2 light fixtures, and installing a smoke alarm. He was on time, knowledgable, and efficient. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest option around but with something like this, quality and experience matters and they did a great job and handle permits and such. They did exactly what I asked them to do and were responsive over email and able to ask the exact questions they needed which made things seamless. This is not necessarily a bad thing but they could have probably done some kind of "walk through" around the place and found some additional work for me. Upselling is obviously not always a great practice but in my case, there were some things that I wish I had done and I think they could have suggested them and left it up to me to say yes/no to during the initial inspection. For example my kitchen could definitely use at least 1 additional outlet, I should have probably replaced a 3rd light, and so on. I do respect that they don't try to take you on a ride but since it is probably efficient to do things all at once, may have been helpful to discuss (this was also my bad for not noticing these things before). Rigo did a bunch of smaller things that made a big difference too like taking out the packaging for the lights and the old ones as well as the old electrical panel, clearly labeling all the switches very neatly which was not well done before, answering my questions and explaining things in a way that I (someone with little knowledge about most of this stuff) would understand.

The project did take longer than initially expected due to delays outside of their control, but the quality of the work never wavered. From the beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. They explained what needed to be done, why it mattered, and what to expect at each step, which made a potentially stressful process feel very manageable. Raushan, the project manager, was great to work with and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was responsive, organized, and always made sure we were informed and comfortable with the plan. Alex, one of the technicians, worked incredibly hard during the rewire and clearly took pride in his work. Bek, another technician, truly went above and beyond - paying close attention to the details and making sure everything was done perfectly, not just "good enough." Beyond the rewire, they handled multiple additional electrical upgrades and fixes around the house, all done cleanly and correctly. What really stood out was trust. Having a crew in your home for a major electrical project isn't easy, but we always felt confident that they had our best interests in mind. No corner-cutting, no unnecessary upsells, just solid, high-quality work. The crew was respectful, showed up when they said they would, and stayed focused until the job was fully complete. I highly recommend Max Electric and would absolutely hire them again!

When the electricity went out on the upper level of our home, we called them for help. Instead of sending an electrician, they first sent a salesperson who couldn't assess the issue, only confirm that there was a problem. We were told we had to pay $475 just for a diagnosis, which could be applied to repairs, and that an electrician could come later that day. With no power, we felt pressured to agree. When the electrician arrived, he initially said our 10-year-old electrical panel was in bad condition and needed to be replaced for over $7,000, with a two-day wait. When we explained we couldn't wait, he tightened some wires on the spot and turned the power back on. He then changed his recommendation and said we didn't need a new panel, just a "cleanup" for $6,500, which he said would take 3-6 hours with two electricians. He also quoted $4,500 to clean up our downstairs panel. On the day of service, only one electrician showed up, and it took about three hours to complete the panel cleanup. Based on what we paid, this came out to over $2,000 per hour. I decided to get a second estimate for our downstairs panel, and the work was completed this morning for $360. That is a huge difference from the $4,500 quote we were given. Our experience with Five or Free was misleading, inconsistent, and extremely overpriced. AVOID!
